The process of redeployment of staff from the Ennis local office is ongoing. While every effort has been made to identify redeployment opportunities in Ennis it has not proved possible to accommodate staff locally. In these circumstances the terms of the Croke Park Agreement are being invoked and the details of all staff to be redeployed will be registered on the Public Appointments System (PAS). As vacancies arise, offers will be made to eligible staff. The process of registration will commence shortly. It is not possible to say when the process of redeployment will be complete for this office.
